Huaraz

About 400 km north of Lima (7 hour drive) Huaraz is located at an elevation of 3,050 mts above sealevel. Huaraz has about 90,000 inhabitants, a sunny climate but it is reasonably cool because of the altitute (about 14C). From Huaraz you can go on several trekkings and also worth visiting is the temple of Chavin.

Amidst the high Andean pastures and cropfields that make up the department of Ancash, one can almost always find a small church or village of red-tiled roofs with a fragrance of freshly-baked bread on the air. These are the everyday wonders of the Peruvian Andes. There, in all its ancient glory, lies the Callejn de Huaylas.

Ancash is a vast department that includes not only the highlands, but also stretches as far as the coast where one can find cities like the fishing port of Chimbote or Casma, a tranquil town by the shores of the Pacific. Possibly Ancash's geographic and climactic diversity has made it one of Peru's premier tourist destinations.

Join our Huaraz tours, treks, and expeditions and enjoy the magic of the Incas and the beauty of its natural landscapes..
